Back-office agents

AI agents that execute multi-step tasks with reasoning. Critical actions are always signed off by a human until the confidence threshold is exceeded.

There is a class of tasks — classify, decide, execute steps in sequence, call external systems, synthesise — that current language models handle well with the right agent architecture. E-commerce returns, invoice reading and logging, quotes, first-level support, reconciliation.

We build agents with LangGraph, Anthropic and OpenAI models, and always with a validation layer. The critical action — the one that costs money or exposes the client — is signed off by a human until the model demonstrates statistical stability above the threshold.

In closed pilots, we achieved 78% autonomous resolution on fashion e-commerce returns, with an error rate below 1.5% and a cost per case of €0.28 versus €8.40 for a human agent.

The Back-office agents process.

The process · four stages
01

Eval

Against the client's dataset, not benchmarks.

02

Build

Agent with tools, validation and escalation.

03

Pilot

4–6 weeks in production with monitoring.

04

Production

Deployment if the eval justifies it.

What is included

  • Human in the loop

    Critical action with a path to a human.

  • Continuous monitoring

    Accuracy, latency, cost, scaling.

  • ERP and CRM integration

    Via Summum Sistemas.

  • AI Act documentation

Frequently asked questions about Back-office agents.

What if the pilot fails?

We do not charge for implementation. It is contractual.

Does it replace people?

It usually reassigns. The team moves to complex queues.

Which models?

Multi-model. Claude for reasoning, GPT-4 for vision.
